Ultra Fast Direct Current Circuit Breaker
Tests witnessed by
» The European Commission Project
Officer
» RTE, RED Electrica and Tennet
representatives
» A representative of an independent
mandated test laboratory.
In less than 5.5 milliseconds, the HVDC circuit breaker reaches total interruption of currents
exceeding 5,200 amps with switching voltage peaking at more than 160 kV
Tests to date all successful
» Dielectric lightning withstand
» Short time current withstand up to 10kA
» Temperature rise test under rated or
overload currents
Successfully tested in conditions of real actual operational constraints for
a high-voltage DC transmission grid

Conclusion
» The mix of conventional energy resources with high amounts of decentralized
renewable energy sources reduce network stability
» Stably balanced grids are basis for constant energy availability
» The extension from national over regional towards international
interconnections is a vital mean to increase the balance between
generation and load
» HV transmission networks play a mayor role in wide area interconnection
» Smart HV technologies, such as HVDC, FACTS, WAMS and state-of-the-art
Network Management Systems are fundamental assets of balanced
European grids …
… and are available
